Nur Ein XVII Round Zero - Friday the 13th

Post by Caravan Ray »

Friday the 13th
(May 2022, Race 12 at The Gardens)
https://www.tabtouch.com.au/racing/2022 ... x/expanded

DRAIN
POETS

Its raining again
That’s all it ever seems to do these days
Since I lost my job and drove my car into a wall
And all of my Bitcoin are as valuable as my relationships
(I know my wife is sleeping with the bloke next door)

I walked under a ladder and I stepped on all the cracks
A black cat passed across my path on my way to the track

then,
Harper’s Boy from Eight Count back to My Mate Sarge and Lexie Tanga
Friday the 13th down at the dogs
8,500 doggy kisses from the dishy lickers
My friggatriskaidekaphobia’s gone

Now I know I’m a lucky guy
Exuding confidence and self-belief
With every step I take I know I cannot fail
How many amongst my peers can accurately analyse
The outcome of some dogs chasing a bunny on a rail?

I looked at my reflection and I made the mirror crack
A black cat passed across my path on my way to the track

Harper’s Boy from Eight Count back to My Mate Sarge and Lexie Tanga
The greyhound quadrella of my dreams
Won enough to pay off all my fines
I'm fine now, never better
Its my lucky day now, so it seems

It's Friday I'm in Love
I've got Friday on My Mind
It's Friday night and the lights are low, I'm looking out for a place to go

Harper’s Boy from Eight Count back to My Mate Sarge and Lexie Tanga
Friday the 13th down at the dogs
8,500 doggy kisses from the dishy lickers
My friggatriskaidekaphobia’s gone

Harper’s Boy from Eight Count back to My Mate Sarge and Lexie Tanga
Harper’s Boy from Eight Count back to My Mate Sarge and Lexie Tanga
Harper’s Boy from Eight Count back to My Mate Sarge and Lexie Tanga
Its my lucky day now, so it seems

Friday the 13th by Vom Vorton

calendar’s marked, we’re on a mission
gotta keep up our superstition
people said that it’s bad luck
but we risked it once and the idea stuck
the cabin’s booked and we’re on the way
special rates for our special day
if we get there fast we can take it slow
so let’s get on the road

I don’t know how long it will take
but we will drive out to the lake
and celebrate Friday the 13th
with an uneventful break

there are bargains to find when it’s out of season
cheaper flights in september for some reason
your loss, our gain
drinking champagne on an empty plane
if it falls in january
pack the skates cos the lake will freeze
rental car or take the bus
monday won’t be blue for us

I don’t know how long it will take
but we will drive out to the lake
and celebrate Friday the 13th
with a calm and peaceful, uneventful break

july
august
september
october
november
whatever the weather
we’ll mark the date
at the lake together

july
august
september
october
november
it’s such a pleasure
when we spend the day
at the lake…

however long the journey takes
we will drive out to the lake
and celebrate Friday the 13th
with an uneventful break
grab the keys for heaven’s sake
we will drive out to the lake
and celebrate Friday the 13th
with a calm and peaceful, uneventful break

Liner:

I want you to know I actually tried with this challenge, there was an idea of trying to write a song about something that has genuinely made me happy. Unfortunately the thing that's made me happy is the misfortune of others, so I probably failed to hit anyone else's definition of happy or feelgood with this song and I fully expect judges to mark me down accordingly.

Anyway, this song is about the crypto crash which has made me FEEL GOOD. I'm sure there's a small number of innocent rubes taken in by a Matt Damon advert and some celebrities holding up pictures of apes, and I have sympathy for them, but the vast majority of people involved with crypto are The Absolute Worst imo, and it makes me HAPPY to think of them suffering. Schadenfreude counts as a form of happiness!
hate to say I told you so...
so I'll sing it instead
maybe I should feel sympathy
but you made your bed
and when you lie down with doge
then you'll get fleeced
I'm laughing at your misery

is it wrong to feel this joy?
watching it all get destroyed
tulip wilting in the incel's hand
and I am laughing all the way to the bank,
making bank - didn't go as you'd planned
hahaha!
all your schemes, all your dreams, smithereens
hahaha!

it is friday the 13th,
and you're thinking that you made a mistake
it is friday the 13th,
and you're counting all the nothing you've got left
it is friday the 13th,
and you're insisting that you're gonna climb back
it is friday the 13th,
and I'm laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing

is it wrong to feel this joy?
watching it all get destroyed
tulip wilting in the incel's hand
and I am laughing all the way to the bank,
making bank - didn't go as you'd planned
hahaha!
all your schemes, all your dreams, smithereens
hahaha!

Friday the 13th - Brown Word and the Big Whine

Hey yo, do you know what day it is?

Well you could quit your job
Pack your things, hit the road
Go abroad or stay right here
Talk to strangers
Tell the people that you love
that you love them

It's a day like any other day
But it doesn't have to be
Don't call it a curse, let's call it destiny
It's Friday the 13th

Buy that thing you been saving for
Or give away your stuff
And make love!
Satisfy that mortifying curiosity
Or just relax!

It's a day unlike any other day
Let's make it the best!
Don't call it a curse, let's call it destiny
It's Friday the 13th

It's a lucky day to be alive
On Friday the 13th
It's a helluva day to be alive

It's a lucky day to be alive
On Friday the 13th
It's a helluva day to be alive

Friday the 13th - Stacking Theory

Staring out from a broken mirror
I'm the black cat across your path
this day is unlucky for some
but for me?
it's my day of release

happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
Friday 13th

I’m the shadow sliding over the floor boards
I’m the creak of the closet hinge
I’m the name whispered in your ear
but when you turn to see me
I’ve disappeared
and I am

happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
Friday 13th

I come alive in the awkward moments
I find joy when you start to shake
You’re superstitious, it’s delicious,
and this is my special day

happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
happy happy happy
Friday 13th

And when you finally fall into sleep
I slide right into your dreams
And you scream and I feed
And I love it!

this is the day that i’ve been waiting for
I love the way we misbehave
and sure, you may not like it
but for me
this is everything

sliding back into my broken mirror
say goodbye to the black cat for now
this day is unlucky for some
but for me – it’s harmony

Nur Ein 17 Round Zero

162 bpm

Truth- Vocals, lyrics


Friday the 13th

His brother had a bad dream
His mom took measures to extreme
She got a vow from earth sun and how
To protect her little sunbeam

It brought him much disgust
How they all made a fuss

Loki, Oh Loki
Ruined the dinner party
Mistletoe luxuriant greenth
Now we’re afraid on Friday the 13th

Hod was blind but ruled the night
His older brother took great delight
In arming him with a deadly dart
Made from mother’s oversight

Like his sister Hela
He was hella blood-lusting fella

Loki, Oh Loki
Ruined the dinner party
Mistletoe luxuriant greenth
Now we’re afraid on Friday the 13th

We all found it odd
When Baldur was hit by Hod
The old lady just disappeared
amongst a baker's dozen gods

Aegir was such a dear
To invite all of us here

Odin is explodin'
He’s void of oxytocin
His one eye filled with ire
As his son showed up (though) forboden

Loki, Oh Loki
Ruined the dinner party
Mistletoe luxuriant greenth
Now we’re afraid on Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th
By Lunkhead

Challenge: happy lyrics, upbeat music

Notes: Friday the 13th movies originally centered around Camp Crystal Lake. In the first movie, Jason's mom was the killer. Jason's weapon of choice is primarily a machete but he also often uses spears or spear-like implements. Originally he was just hard to kill then in the sixth movie he was explicitly turned into a supernatural immortal. Jason often picks off people who are on their own, either just as a one-off, or, whittling a group down one by one. In the 7th movie Jason is pitted against a telekinetic woman, a la Carrie. The 8th movie is "Jason Takes Manhattan". In the 10th movie, "Jason X", Jason is cryogenically frozen, only to be thawed out 100s of years later on a spaceship. Jason would frequently murder young people when they were having sex. This was often interpreted as judgment of sinners, although the writers claimed they just used that occasion as one where the victims would be very distracted and easy to sneak up on. In a later movie Jason spares a child who is praying.

Oh it's almost summer time
I just cannot wait
For the campers to return
Man it's gonna be great

I'm sharpening my blade
And I'm whittling my spear
Cause I'm gonna have a bloody
Good time this year

Oh I love to kill
and I'm good at it
No I cannot die
So get used to it
On Friday the 13th
I'll come and find you
Just like my momma taught me to

I like to start off slow
With a teen who's all alone
Or a cop or a hobo
Then a group one by one oh

You say you’re telekinetic
Then I say come and get it
Cause even if you beat me
Some fool will come and set me free

And I love to kill
Cause I'm good at it
And I cannot die
So get used to it
On Friday the 13th
I'll come and find you
Just like my momma taught me to

I’ve got big dreams
Of big city screams
Slashing with grace
In the future in outer space

And if you're fornicating
Then I'll be right there waiting
Cause I'm not just a monster from hell
I'm a righteous incel

And I love to kill
And I'm good at it
No i cannot die
So get used to it
On Friday the 13th
I'll come and find you
Just like my momma taught me to

Friday the 13th
Lichen Throat

I saw a black cat in a lonely alley;
I took her home and named her Sally.
I have an owl atop my house;
It keeps the place without a mouse.
I walked beneath a leaning ladder;
It just made me feel badder.
My smile broke the bathroom mirror,
But I could see myself even clearer.
Friday the 13th is my lucky day,
When everything goes my way.
The sky is sunny, never grey,
A joy and peace and love parfait.

I’m number 4 in China,
Number 9 in Japan,
17 in Italy,
39 in Afghanistan.

I opened my umbrella in the lobby,
Got dirty looks from the busybodies,
But then the fire sprinklers came on,
So I knew I had my game on.
I got a chain letter from my buddy;
He said if I broke it I’d be unlucky.
But now he’s out 80 bucks,
So who’s the one with bad luck?
Friday the 13th is my lucky day,
When everything goes my way.
Tomorrow you’re awaiting my dismay,
But I’ll be lucky, too, on Saturday.

Friday the 13th (Virgo Power)

It was a super flower blood moon
Our eyes met across the room
A pair of black cats crossed our path
You had your hat on backwards
Put your shoes on the table
We lit three smokes to a match

How does Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-day
become Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-yay
when that Friday was the everloving day
I met you, I met you

I broke a few mirrors
You may have killed a ladybug
And opened an umbrella inside
We walked under a ladder
Hung our horseshoe upside down
Saw a bird pass from left to right

How does Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-day
become Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-yay
because Friday was the everloving day
the 13th, the 13th

Inst bridge

How does Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-day
become Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-yay
because Friday was the everloving day

Spoiler
Fun fact: there are (coincidentally) 9 notes in the run on Friday/Friyay and I learned (thanks, Wikipedia!) that 9 is considered an unlucky number in Japan. Well, it's been my LUCKY number since I was very little. Take that, Japan! (PS I see Lichen Throat has already included it.) Also, hat on backwards is not an unlucky thing that I know of but I decided it's kind of douche move so I made it one.

Friday the 13th

I drank a toast with just water
I walked under a ladder
I saw a black cat cross my path
But My Tuesday haircut doesn’t matter

I’ve had more than my fair portion
Of bad luck and misfortune
I tempted fate, but she came in late
I see it all without distortion

Friday the 13th
Was an omen I understood
Friday the 13th
Surprised me when my luck was good

I said MacBeth in a Theater
I left my chopsticks pointed straight up
I lit all three of our cigars with just one match
I entered the room with my left foot

I’ve had more than my fair portion
Of bad luck and misfortune
I tempted fate, but she came in late
I see it all without distortion

Friday the 13th
Was an omen I understood
Friday the 13th
Surprised me when my luck was good

Triskaidekaphobia was looming large
But you felt the need to kiss me
And love took charge

I’ve had more than my fair portion
Of bad luck and misfortune
I tempted fate, but she came in late
I see it all without distortion

Friday the 13th
Was an omen I understood
Friday the 13th
Surprised me when my luck was good

Nick Soma - Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th is a wonderful day
That is a fact because so I say
'Cause I'll return to the material world
For total chaos to be unfurled

I'm the spirit of misfortune
You're my toys and I wanna play
But I don't seek to kill or torture
Only to mess up your day

It's so boring hanging out with all the other ghosts
When the door to the world of the living is closed
But today I'll be having fun
Friday the 13th, the party's on
And I think I'll wreak some major havoc now

You'll stub your toe in the morning as you crawl out of bed
Leaping up you're gonna hit your head
Then trip over and fall, good morning, my friend
Are you already longing for this day to end?

I'm the ghost of misadventure
Having fun at your expense
You are my servant indentured
Just one day, to my defense

It's so boring watching you when I can't interfere
Dreaming up pranks while I'm trapped in here
But today I'll be having fun
Friday the 13th, the party's on
And I think I'll wreak some major havoc now

On the shore there's something lying around
A black cat, seems like he's drowned
Now he's no longer a corpse and I'm no longer a ghost
Thanks a lot, little kitty, for being my host

It was boring watching you, I couldn't interfere
You'd better watch out now, the cat of doom is here
And today I'll be having fun
Friday the 13th, the party's on
And I think I'll wreak some major havoc now
Yes I'm gonna wreak some major havoc now (meooowww!)
Yes I'm gonna wreak some major havoc now

Friday the 13th
by Moss Palace

Challenge: Feel good, happy lyrics, upbeat music

There wasn’t snow the night we met
In December
It was on Friday the Thirteenth
I remember
And if I could I would go back
and advise
Myself to take a chance
Push away my pride

How could I be so blind?
So much wasted time
On hearts that weren’t mine

A ride of twists and turns
You shouldn’t be concerned
The happy years outweigh
The fights and the tears

Oh how the days and months rolls on
It’s relentless
I love you even when life’s slow
And eventless
I can imagine how much worse
It could be
To never have this kind of love
You and me

How could I be so blind?
So much wasted time
On hearts that weren’t mine

A ride of twists and turns
You shouldn’t be concerned
The happy years outweigh
The fights and the tears

A ride of twists and turns
You shouldn’t be concerned
The happy years outweigh
The fights and the tears

A ride of twists and turns
You shouldn’t be concerned
The happy years outweigh
The fights and the tears

Friday the 13th - Night Sky

I was born on the thirteenth of May
In nineteen eighty-three
The preacher man told my mama that day
I’d be a bad seed

But I burst onto the scene droppin’ beats
To make you move your feet
So funky people take my lead
Get on up and dance with me

Friday the thirteenth is your lucky day
Come on out and dance with me
Don’t let no superstition stand in your way
You got to move it, you got to groove with me

Get on up, on your feet
Get out on the dance floor
Whoa you ain’t got nothing to fear
So get up and shake your groove thang

Friday the thirteenth is your lucky day
Come on out and dance with me
Don’t let no superstition stand in your way
You got to move it, you got to groove with me
Night Sky is Sally on lyrics, Steve on drums, and Matt on the other stuff

Happy Thirteen!
It’s time to celebrate
The beautiful ghost
Of our first date

Ready or not
Here it comes again
The date of the day
We became more than friends

We’re lucky thirteen
A king and a queen
An unlucky day led to a wedding ring
We’re lucky thirteen
Crushing like teens
An unlucky day started everything

We got matching tattoos
Of a one and a three
Forget the taboo
It’s just you and me

Ready or not
Here it comes again
The date of the day
We became more than friends

We’re lucky thirteen
A king and a queen
An unlucky day led to a wedding ring
We’re lucky thirteen
Crushing like teens
An unlucky day started everything

I stare at the night
And raise a fist to the sky
I praise everything with a la la la
Just to spite my
Friggatriskaidekaphobia

We’re lucky thirteen
A king and a queen
An unlucky day led to a wedding ring
We’re lucky thirteen
Crushing like teens
An unlucky day started everything

Friday the 13th
by Jon Porobil

Bored to death in class and staring out the window
All I thought about was you
Crystal Lake’s been waiting for us all to get here
There’s so much work to do

Tomorrow’s Friday the Thirteenth
And you’ve been worried about the bad luck it will bring
I used to be superstitious
But since I met you I’m not afraid of anything

It’s been a long nine months; we’re cutting through some cobwebs
Way off in that storage barn
We can disappear a while, no one will miss us
Let me drown inside your arms

Tomorrow’s Friday the Thirteenth
And you’ve been worried about the bad luck it will bring
I used to be superstitious
But since I met you I’m not afraid of anything

I wake up to a sunbeam on my face
And a single croaking frog
I watch your silhouette approach from Crystal Lake
Through a summer morning fog
You say “Let’s canoodle in the
Canoe cabin,” a devilish look in your eye
You peel off your shirt for me
And in this moment I’m so happy I could die

Today is Friday the Thirteenth
And you’ve been worried about the bad luck it will bring
I used to be superstitious
But since I met you I’m not afraid of anything

I’m not afraid
(Not afraid)
I’m not afraid
(Not afraid)
I’m not afraid
(Not afraid)
I’m not afraid
(Not afraid)
I’m not afraid
(Not afraid)
I’m not afraid
(Not afraid)
I’m not af-

Friday the 13th

I feel the sun shine
with every breath that I take
hey there’s my neighbor Jason swimming
down by the lake!
water so blue
ripples flow crystal clear
I wish that I could join him every
day of the year

It’s a mystical, magical,
miracle Friday
The 13th
day of the month
It’s a beautiful, bountiful
life living my way
A Lionness out
on the hunt

It’s Friday!

Well hey there’s Michael
always wearing a mask
it’s certainly considerate
we don’t have to ask!
He just moved back here
after years out of town
I wonder if he’ll cut and run or
just settle down

Chorus

Can’t deny that I’m a blessed guy
Set my jeans to dry
Out by the lake
cause swimming with friends
Could never be a mistake;
And as I clean my knives
I realize it’s the the little things in life
That make it worth the grind.
The American dream is
exactly what it seems:
A point of pride for us blessed guys

It’s beautiful day
In the neighborhood
I can’t remember ever feeling
Quite this good
I wave to Freddy
He’s asleep on his lawn
He might not ever wake up
So I just walk on

Friday the 13th
The Alleviators

Stop
Don't cross the line
It's not time
The stars are not aligned
It's bad luck to get your
Hopes up

But I never been one to listen
Never been too good at common sense
Don't need their superstitions
Cause yeah I know that fools rush in

But tell you what
If you ever need me I'll be there
Nothing's gonna stop me I'm not scared
Cross my heart living on a dare
I swear I got you

When my good luck has turned
Worse than Friday the 13th
I feel weightless because
(I got you, I got you)
When my chips disappear
And the dark's growing deep
Call me fateless my love
(I got you, I got you)

Steady
Those shaking hands
I'm ready
Building dreams and breaking plans
We make our own luck or
None of this is anything

It's been said I can be a bit stubborn
Always spitting venom at the stars
When my heart is set on something
I'm always game to take the sugar with the scars

But heeding curses feels foolish
When I believe that you'll be there

When my good luck has turned
Worse than Friday the 13th
I feel weightless because
(I got you, I got you)
When our chips disappear
And the dark's growing deep
Call me fateless my love
(I got you, I got you)

Maybe it's a bad omen
Maybe we're not meant to be
We're gonna be, we're gonna be
'cause honey our fortune's not in stone
We'll make our own

Steady...
Nothing gonna stop me I swear

When my good luck has turned
Worse than Friday the 13th
I feel weightless because
(I got you, I got you)
When our chips disappear
And the dark's growing deep
We are fateless my love
(I got you, I got you)
